Vacuum Pumps Used for Many Industrial Applications
Announcement posted by Pump Solutions Australasia 29 Jan 2016
Australia’s most trusted importer of vacuum pumps provides a guide to the different types and applications of vacuum pumps.
Perth, WA, 29 January 2016 - Vacuum pumps are among the more common pumps for many industrial uses in Australia and around the world. Vacuum pumps create a partial vacuum in a chamber. The lowered pressure in the chamber attracts air and liquids from the input. The chamber is evacuated, creating another vacuum and the process is repeated for a continuous flow.
While momentum transfer pumps, entrapment pumps and positive displacement pumps are all classified as vacuum pumps, positive displacement pumps are the most common and the other two varieties are usually used in conjunction with one or more positive displacement pumps in series.
There are five popular kinds of positive displacement vacuum pumps: liquid ring pumps, double diaphragm pumps, rotary vane pumps, blowers and side channel pumps.
Liquid Ring Pumps
Liquid ring pumps can be used as standard vacuum pumps but the process can also be inverted for use as a compressor. They are used in the petroleum, paper, gas and agriculture industries. Molded egg cartons are built using liquid ring pumps.
Double Diaphragm Pumps (AODD)
Air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps run on compressed air and move a diaphragm to expand and contract a chamber. They are used to pump a variety of fluids in industry, such as slurries, acids and water. They are also used in the food and beverage industry, especially in food processing, because their design is appropriate for sanitary applications.
Rotary Vane Pumps
Rotary vane pumps use a rotor mounted on a vane inside of a cavity. They are used for refrigeration, aviation fuel transfer, aerosols, solvents and propellants. They are popular for use in espresso coffee machines and soft drink carbonators.
Blowers
When the process used to create a vacuum is reversed, it creates a blower.
Side Channel Pumps
Side channel pumps are used mainly for the handling of vapours and gases. Side channel pumps are used when a measurement called “NPSH,” or the ratio of pressure over vapour pressure, must be low.
Uses for Vacuum Pumps: an Overview
Generally, vacuum pumps are used for applications in numerous industries. They are used in heating & cooling, research & development, petroleum, wastewater, mining, food & beverage, hospitality, hospitals & other medical facilities, motor vehicles, pharmaceutical facilities, moulding, investment casting and packaging.
Mike Hurlbatt is the owner of Pump Solutions Australasia. Pump Solutions Australasia is a leading importer of pumps for Australia. They import pumps from Europe, North America, South America and Asia to ensure a wide selection of the highest quality pumps in the world. According to Mr Hurlbatt:
“Vacuum pumps are among the most popular pumps in the world. If you have a well and a hand water pump, that is an elementary version of a vacuum pump. From the backyard to the largest industries across the world, vacuum pumps are responsible for a lot of things we take for granted.”
Pump Solutions Australasia imports a full range of vacuum pumps from their facility in Perth. They carry a full line of rotary vane pumps, air operated diaphragm pumps (AODD), liquid ring pumps, side channel pumps and blowers.
